Help ELLs with classroom procedures All students need to understand and follow your classroom rules, including ELLs. Teach them your classroom management rules as soon as possible. Here are a few strategies that you can use in class:
Use visuals like pictures (actual photos are best) to show ELLs what you expect of them
Physically model language and expected behaviors. Keep vocabulary simple and have it match labels so students tie a response to the language used.
Daily schedule posted Ells may not comprehend what you say but visuals aide in understanding. Put the visuals next to the schedule. If time allows, take a tour of the school. Take pictures of areas in the school or within the classroom and use these as visual aides (This can also be done using a video camera and playing the video for the class.
Ask bilingual volunteers for help or find a buddy for your student.
